you can easily combine multiple conditions, e.g.:
water and ((within 5.0 of residue 4 5) and (within 5.0 of residue 20))
please see the user's guide for more details on the selection syntax.
remember to activate 'Update selection' or it will stick to the first
selection and also please note the subtle difference between 'residue'
- which is unique but always renumbered starting from 0 - and 'resid'
which is the number from the initial structure (e.g. pdb / psf file)
- which which can be useful if you have multiple peptides with the
same sequence in your system.
best regards,
axel.
